[Shotimes] Intro New guy New SHO

[leighsm@comcast.net]

Welcome Dave;
I like the Gen Is too. Had my 89 for 250k miles. Several others have kept
theirs for that and even past 300k. The engines are pretty durable.
That's more than can be said for the clutch, front suspension parts, front
brakes, A/C and interior. If the body is in good shape, and you maintain
things, you could keep it for a long time.
Good luck.
Lee
89 RIP 250k
94 MTX 100k
P.S. A front brake upgrade, and a rod shifter upgrade, will totally change
your appreciation of a Gen I SHO.

the great snow belt.this is my second SHO the first one I had for about 6
weeks when the ex girlfriend totaled it. It's taken me 6 years to buy
another one. I really like the GEN 1 cars and was looking high and low for
one and ran across a 90 at auction that I happen to pick up for 350.00
nobody was bidding against me much or I was bidding against a bunch of cheap
bastards either way I got what I wanted,
> 1990 SHO Red the only bad parts are the rusty moulding and the paint is
starting to fade and peel. Interior is exellent except for the climate
control. and it's missing  a dome light cover. Everything appears to be
stock and all recall work seems to have been done. I'll have to assume it's
had it's 60K services as I found the took kit to do them under the spare.Car
runs great I bought it Dec 19 have been driving it everyday since clutch
feels good has a slight buzz coming from the throw out bearing. I do all my
own work so I'll have to get it in the air and check it out and possibly do
the clutch rear seal etc at the same time. So you guys with GEN 1 parts keep
me in mind I'd like to keep this one around for awhile.
